Outline of Research at the Start

植物遺体や土器付着物から検出された残存タンパク質には、植物グロブリンやグリシニン等のCupinファミリータンパク質が高頻度に見られることを明らかにしている。本研究では、出土地域や年代が異なり、また多様な植物遺体や土器付着物等の多数の出土試料を用いてタンパク質分析を行うことで、エビデンスを積み重ね、植物を含む考古学試料におけるCupinファミリータンパク質の残存性と普遍性を明らかにし、植物パレオプロテオミクスに有用な基盤データを確立する。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

We attempted to develop a foundation for plant paleoproteomics, which reveals plant genera and species by detecting and identifying Cupin superfamily proteins, which are plant seed proteins that remain in carbonized seeds and carbonized food crusts attached to archaeological potteries. For carbonized rice, it was found that Japonica and Indica species could be discriminated if the samples were well preserved. For the charred food crusts adhering to archaeological potteries, Cupin family proteins from rice, soybean, and walnut were efficiently detected, and genus and species could be identified. On the other hand, RNA-Seq analysis was performed on six current acorn species for which little protein information was available, and a new protein database was created to improve the foundation for detecting more diverse plant species.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により、植物遺体を同定することで、炭化米の場合には、試料の保存状況が良ければ、ジャポニカ種とインディカ種を判別可能であることを明らかにした。また、土器付着炭化物については、Cupinファミリータンパクを効率よく検出する研究基盤を確立できたことで、考古試料について植物の属や種のレベルで同定することが可能となった。さらに、タンパク質の情報がほとんどなかった堅果類等については、現生果実を用いてRNA-Seq解析を実施し、タンパク質のデータベースを作成することで、より多様な植物種の同定が可能となり、植物パレオプロテオミクスの今後の拡張性についても示すことができた。
